But in a few key places, water was still pushed up from underground as a spring, a vital oasis⁴ where wildlife would have converged⁵ from many miles around. Many animals would have fed on the surrounding vegetation and others come here to drink. And predators⁶ would have laid an ambush⁷ for the unwary. It's no wonder that so many fossil bones have been found on the bottom of these springs, clues that can open up a window on the ice age past. 

 

Bringing this evidence together, we can create a living picture of this region as it was then. We can now go back 13,000 years and see what a day around one of Florida's springs might have been like. 

 

Dawn on the southeast tip of ice age North America. On the banks of a spring-fed pool, the early grazers stir.
